The Foundation team is in full force planning this years touring schedule. Look out for a full frontal assault this year with lots of coordination and combined efforts. Foundation’s summer tour is tentatively being worked on for August. Hitting only the best demos from last year, plus some great new locations. If your over in Europe you can count on the guys showing up at the Grand Prix, Lausanne and Dortmund, making us a truly international team of Hooligans. Not including all the ‘here and there’ missions. If you don’t see us this year, your not looking.

Corey Duffel is nursing his broken collarbone from his run in with a High School wrestling coach. Word is he lost his board while skating a roof gap. When Corey made it down to get his board he was greeted by the wrestling coach. He chased the coach into the jim trying to get his board back where the coach then proceed to show his students how to do a typical blindsided jock move that ended up breaking Corey’s collarbone. Other than that Corey is amped to get better so he can show everyone how to get things done. Watch out for a lot of cool things and some badazz coverage of Corey real soon. I heard he gots the cover of both Slap and Thrasher!
